Looking for a good breeder near Southern California

We are currently looking for a female pup. I thought I had a breeder in the midwest picked out but there were too many red flags so I backed out. This will be my 4th OES (my husband's first!) and we live in the LA area. I would prefer to find a breeder closer to home so that I can visit, ask questions, etc in person rather than from 2000 miles away. Any recommendations are thoroughly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi & welcome!

Please look into the breeder referral list for the Old English Sheepdog Club of America. The breeders on the list have to sign a code of ethics that they adhere to good breeding practices including the necessary health checks.

Thanks! I have checked that list.
Was hoping for a personal (good) experience to help us narrow the field.
Anyone...?
There is a member here who just got a puppy from Cottonwood. 6girls is her forum name. Shoot her an e-mail because I know she hasn't been on the forum as much lately but her puppy is about, hmmm, 5 months old now? She should be able to give a more personal reference from that breeder for you.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. If you were in Michigan, I'd have you covered. ;)
Thanks Jill. :D
Hard to believe it but Bumble's about 6 months old now
(172 days but who's counting :lol:) and 55 pounds.

I just sent you a PM, Amy.
Good luck to you with your search.

Owen says Bumble needs to work out more. Owen is a 50 pound tank already at 4 months!
Wow Jill! Owen's huge!
What in the world have you been feeding that boy? :wink:

I doubt Bumble will get to be 115 pounds like his dad but I think he's about right for his framework. I can still feel his ribs with gentle pressure. Poor dude is REALLY going to be disappointed because we're going with 2 meals a day tomorrow instead of 3. :roll:
Hey can I add to you Jill and Jaci ......
we have some hot looking boys ! :lol:

We are some lucky momma's!

My little runster is trying to catch up!
(think we are going to the puppy gym tomorrow)
We got our boy from Dody Glassco and Christine Hughes.
